Season of Discovery Class Tuning Incoming - April 16

Overcharged could’ve been nerfed to 8 seconds and it would still be incredible.
I’m a shaman main, I chose shaman before everyone realized it was broken.
Fug all y’all FOTM reroll POS players, gtfo my class.

Please can you FIX resto Shaman by moving Earth Shield to the waist slot. :slight_smile:

Currently, Enhancement Shamans are using Maelstrom Rune, while Elemental Shamans are using Power Surge. Resto Shamans do not have an optimal rune on this slot, which Earth Shield could remedy.

Please move aspect of the lion to being a book.

It is essentially mandatory to take for any group content, which entirely removes choice.

Book of the lion-teaches the hunter aspect of the lion (no bonus 10% stats)

New chest rune
Rune of the alpha
-increases all stats by 10% and enhance all aspects
Cheetah no longer has a daze effect but instead loses the move speed bonus for 4 seconds when hit instead
Hawk now also gives melee attack power
Monkey now reduces damage taken by 10%
Wild now gives resistance to every magic type to the hunter and and pet, the nature resist effects the entire raid
Pack now effects the entire raid (still dazes)

And typically better flight paths and quest hubs.
I’m not sure how it is this phase due to how strong incursions were for levelling, but last phase was crazy.

Levelling 25-40 as Alliance after playing predominantly Horde since 2005 you could really feel the difference. Off the bat you have Swamp of Sorrows, Badlands, and STV that flat out don’t have Alliance faction FPs, or Alterac Mountains and 1k Needles where Horde FP is significantlybetter situated (and let’s face it Alliance don’t get a quest hub), then you have quest hub inequalities like rebel camp vs Grom’gol, Nijel’s Point vs Ghost Walker Post + Shadowprey Village, or Kargath vs where ever Alliance have their tiny 2 person quest hubs for 3 quests only.

The only zone I’d consider mostly equal in that phase was Duskwallow Marsh potentially, with Arathi Highlands a consideration albeit at a stretch because Refuge Point vs Hammerfall is barely a competition on which is better. Refuge Point doesn’t even have a mailbox I believe?

Horde is just so much better situated overall in vanilla, it’s kinda crazy.
Then you top it off with the things you mentioned as well as now giving weapon skill racials to all races…damn.

I have a warlock and never saw the dagger all of p2.

shaman should have more nerfs then this. devs dont know how to do anything properly. this is why weve had fail after fail for WoW. Havent had a good expansion since wrath which is sad

Very.
It is very bad.

Overcharge was only a problem in high density AoE and only in terms of raw damage. In single target, this change is functionally just “free lightning shield” while failing to keep pace with other tanks’ DPS in single target. This change needs to be paired with at least one of:

  • Increase threat from lightning shield
  • Address tank mana in slow / single target / caster encounters and more active DPS / threat abilities

I think moving Endless rage to the helm slot for warriors would be great.

Sort your life out, mate. It’s embarrassing to write that rubbish.

wtf is this seriously going to do for warriors, maybe change it so that assisted kills proc vic, it’s a wasted rune slot 90% of the time.

Tru.

I have been playing Horde from day one since I started playin WOW in 2005, and have switched to play alliance for Era and SOD.

Horde leveling exp is far better than Alliance.

Yeah i agree, skull bash becomes completely obsolete with this change. They’re moving lacterate because of gore. So bear druids HAVE to take mangle because of gore. Cat druids would loose so much dps from taking skullbash over mangle it’s laughable.

Just make skullbash a book at this point.

when you say it that way, the 10% rep gain feels like a crutch to catch up to how horde gain their rep lol i mean look at what its like in bgs… Horde all have that racial, but 3000% times stronger because they win

The mangle rune giving mangle and lacerate in no way would be OP. But, like with every druid rune, they seem so afraid to give druids anything for fear they’ll end up OP.

Meanwhile other classes like shamans are giga buffed every phase (rumor is wolves next phase even). Instead our real “rune” abilities are from rep - catnip/helm enchant.
